What our clients say about us
Rated out of 5 stars based on customer reviews.
- Very beautiful place and a great guide — the tour itself was really enjoyable. The only downside was that tips were strongly expected. When we paid for the tour, the cashier asked how much cash we wanted to withdraw for tips and mentioned that $20 per person is usually recommended. At the end of the tour we were reminded about tipping again. Considering the tour already costs $160, it felt a bit strange to have tips pushed so strongly. If staff feel underpaid, it might be better to address that internally rather than putting pressure on guests.read moreread less
Yana3/14/2026My Glacier Tour guide "Morgan" was amazing. She was very knowledgeable, attentive and professional. She made the experience that much better. I would definitely recommend the tour to anyone that has never seen a Glacier up close. Yet alone get to walk on and through one. Thank you Morgan for an amazing experience.read moreread less

Jinho Son2/03/2026This was an amazing tour to matanushka glacier in alska. I was disappointed because the helicopter glacier tour was canceled due to weather. My fiance and I had limited time in Anchorage Alaska before leaving. So I couldn't risk wasting another day so we booked the glacier tour to matanushka glacier with Glacier Tours and they were amazing. We drove to matanushka glacier from Anchorage that took about 2 1/2 hrs on Glen hwy which was easy to drive on. When we got there they immediately guided us and got us going to the glacier. They guided us the whole way and explained everything along the way. It was amazing and beautiful.read moreread less
Chris “Chris0076”1/16/2026 - Our family of 5 had an amazing experience! Our children range from 5-12. Our guide made sure the hike was enjoyable for all parties involved. Small children (ice slides), preteens (ice caves and fun facts), and adults, alike! Additionally, we went in December 2025 during a week where it was -20's F. We are not accustomed to that kind of weather living in the coastal southeast USA. The tour was so fun and we were moving enough that we didn't hear a single complaint from our children! Truly incredible! Would love to do this again!read moreread less
Anzea Dukes1/06/2026Morgan was our guide and she was absolutely phenomenal. I loved every second of the tour. She was informative, funny, and genuinely cared about the guests the entire time. I would 100% recommend this tour, especially in the winter. Make sure to follow the guidelines on their website and come prepared—it makes all the difference. This tour truly is for everyone, and the sights are incredible. The glacier was absolutely amazing. Learning about the history of the glacier and the science behind the ice made the experience even more memorable. There were plenty of photo opportunities, and we were given ample time to take advantage of them. The rest of the staff was incredibly helpful and got us on the tour without a hitch. It’s clear the entire team works very hard to provide a fantastic experience from start to finish.read moreread less
Nicholas Welker12/31/2025This was my second time doing the glacier tour and it did not disappoint. The company offers a really great military discount and the guides are knowledgeable and extremely friendly. I took my parents who were visiting Alaska from out of town for the first time and they were thrilled with the experience. A great way to see the beauty of Alaska!read moreread less

Craig Osborn3/16/2025Absolutely amazing adventure! We had family visiting and decided to try this tour out, and I’m so glad we did. Booking was easy; we booked via text, and the company was extremely responsive and provided all the details we needed to be successful. Our group of 6 (5 adults + 1 18-month old) enjoyed ourselves and our guide, Naomi. I unfortunately forgot my coat at home, but they had coats and pants to borrow. They also have REI carriers that we took advantage of for my son, and multiple restrooms are available at the start/end of the tour.read moreread less
Tiara Smith3/16/2025 - Definitely a MUST see & do adventure!! The tour guides are very knowledgeable and friendly! They made the experience worth while!

They are very patient, helpful, and understanding toward people with injuries. 😊read moreread less

Arghyadeep Pradhan5/26/2024 - The glaciers are beautiful, and altho the tour guide was very informative I felt she was a tad rude. She wanted to keep the group moving and it felt rushed. I felt she was biased and catered to certain people who she believed would give her a better tip. I would do the tour again with a different tour company unfortunately.read moreread less
Db34/23/2024We couldn't describe our experience as anything less than fantastic. During our trip to Alaska, we had the incredible opportunity to visit the Matanuska Glacier. It holds the distinction of being the largest glacier in the United States accessible by car. The prospect of witnessing this magnificent glacier firsthand filled us with excitement. This Glacier tour offered us a great service, allowing us to safely explore the glacier icy expanse. With the guidance of experts, we slowly walked into the heart of the glacier. Navigating through the icy terrain, we were surrounded by towering ice mountains, creating a breathtaking spectacle. Despite the cold, the beauty of the Matanuska Glacier was a truly unforgettable experience that we will never forget. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Alaska.read moreread less
Weeranat Wilaiwan4/23/2024Super recommend taking the tour of Matanuska glacier! We had a really great time there guided by Johnson in March! He is so nice, funny and shared a lot of knowledge and cares with us. We got so impressed that we decided to hold our wedding ceremony there. The ceremony was also a great sucess and unforgettable experience. We all so appreciated the help from the entire crew of glacier tours.read moreread less
Ren Liu4/21/2024What a once in a lifetime opportunity. One of my favorite memories of visiting Alaska. The guide Petra helped our group with all of the little tough slippery spots.
